I have a huge log file of around 3.5 GB and would like to sample random sections in the middle of say 10 MB for the purpose of debugging what my application is doing.
I could use head or tail commands to get the beginning or end of the file, how can I grab an arbitrary portion from the middle of the file? I guess I could do something like head -n 1.75GB | tail -n 10MB but that seems clumsy and I'd need to determine line numbers for the midpoint of the file to get 1.75GB and 10MB line counts.

$ dd if=big_file.bin skip=1750 ibs=1MB count=10 of=big_file.bin.part
You might want to spend some time reading and understanding dd.

As dd is not aware of lines, you may want to trim of the first and last one, so as only complete lines are included, e.g.: dd... | head -n-1 | tail -n+2 or with sed: dd... | sed '1d; $d'. – Thor Feb 22 '13 at 10:19
You can use use tail, but by specify a byte offset.
tail -c +$START_BYTE $file | head -c $LENGTH > newfile
That way tail can jump directly to the starting point (without counting new lines) and once head matches the correct length, it stops running.

Nice one. This works with arbitrary byte offsets and sizes, which dd can't do. – Mike Jan 9 at 0:06
You just have to write a little program to seek to some random spot and read some amount of lines.
An example in Python (reads one line, but you can modify it):
def get_random_line():
 """Return a randomly selected line from a file."""
 import random
 fo = open("/some/file.txt")
 point = random.randrange(fo.size)
 c =
 while c!= '\n' and fo.tell() > 0:
 , 1)
 c =
 line = fo.readline().strip()
 return line

Can You Use A Paper Towel As A Coffee Filter Substitute?
This article answers an unusual question: Can you use a paper towel as a coffee filter substitute? We propose some ideas for improving the taste if you're out of options.
paper towel as a coffee filter - two rolls of paper towel on a wooden table
Paper towel is the closest coffee filter substitute you can find at home
You lazily walk into the kitchen with disheveled hair and eyes half-open to brew an aromatic pot of Java only to realize that you are out of coffee filters. OMG! What will you do?
This may spark feelings of anxiety and my true condolences are with you. But, you are not alone! Almost every coffee enthusiast or others faces this predicament when there is not enough time to rush to a store to get filters and you also don't want to go to the coffee shop.
So, what's the other alternative? A paper towel, because this is the closest substitute you can get for a filter. Just make sure you do not make it a habit to use paper towels frequently, and you will not have to worry about any health hazards.
Can You Use a Paper Towel As A Coffee Filter?
Yes, you can. When you have run out of coffee filters and you badly need your morning fix, you can try your old college roommate's method for a quick fix. As you put that paper towel in the filter cup, you may wonder if you are doing the right thing.
What about chemicals in the paper towel? Will they leach into your cuppa? Is this method harmful to your health? Let's find out.
Your coffee filter has a lot in common with paper towels. Other than the thickness and ability to absorb, they are few differences between the two. However, if you thought a paper is only made of wood pulp then you are mistaken.
You need to keep a few things in mind when using a paper towel as a substitute filter and I have mentioned them below:
Are The Papers Towels Bleached?
When the thought of using a paper towel in the place of filters crosses the mind, the first thing or concern is chemicals used for bleaching paper towels. Paper bleaching is certainly an issue and it can allow unwanted chemicals to leach into your cup.
However, in most cases, the contaminants are not severe and the health risks are negligible (unless you make it a habit to use paper towels every day).
When you pour hot water over the grounds placed inside the paper towel, water acts as an extracting agent for any industrial chemical used in the manufacturing process. As most paper towels are bleached using chlorine, the chlorinated dioxins present in the product may pose some health risks.

Water acts as an extracting agent for any industrial chemical
Surprisingly, a study in the '80s revealed that one in every ten thousand cases of cancer among coffee drinkers was due to dioxins leaching from the paper filters. While the chemicals leaching from coffee filters are low, the number of dioxins extracted from paper towels may certainly be harmful to your health in the long run.
While the recent improvements in the paper bleaching industry have reduced this risk to a large extent, some traces of dioxins may still be present in the bleached paper. If you wish to completely eliminate the risk of dioxin intake, switch to natural paper instead!
Are The Paper Towels Recycled?
Well, let's not forget that the paper towels were not designed to be used as a coffee filter. It is meant for wiping, but of course, you may use it as a makeshift paper filter when you badly need coffee and the box is empty. Everyone does. I have done it too.
However, the paper contains contaminants that it gets during the manufacturing process. These contaminants like strengthening agents, fillers, and dyes have rarely gone through toxicity testing. Some papers may even contain phthalates, Bisphenol-A (BPA), and other hormone imitating chemicals.
Food regulators approve these products because they believe that the papers will not come in contact with the food we consume. When the paper is recycled, contaminants also get recycled with the wood pulp, resulting in traces of chemicals in recycled paper towels.
That does not mean that you should not buy recycled paper towels because they have a myriad of environmental benefits. Just that using them for filtering your coffee is not the ideal way to start your mornings.
How To Use A Paper Towel As A Makeshift Coffee Filter？
Running out of coffee filters on a cold winter morning may feel like a big deal. You certainly don't want to go out of the house without something filling your grumpy stomach. This is when paper towels can come to your rescue.
Almost every household has paper towels so when you are in a situation like this, just grab a towel and make a temporary filter out of it. While your coffee may not taste as great, it is certainly better than no coffee at all!
Step 1: To make a temporary coffee filter, always use a full-sized paper towel and lay it flat over a table
Step 2: Now fold the paper towel vertically into half
Step 3: Again fold the paper towel into another half (you will now get an almost square shape)
Step 4: Now take the folded paper towel and use the open ends to create a pocket to put your coffee grinds and keep it back into the filter cup
Step 5: Put your favorite coffee grounds inside the pocket
Step 6: Remember to fold the outer edges to ensure that the pot lid closes completely
Step 7: Now add hot water (not boiling hot) slowly into the filter cup and let the coffee drip into the pot
Step 8: Now enjoy your morning coffee. This may not taste as great as the coffee flavor you are used to, but you can still manage to have coffee without any filters
What Are Other Alternatives To Paper Towel？
Many coffee enthusiasts may not approve of paper towels as the right substitute for paper filters. If you have similar feelings, here are some alternatives that you may try. Each method has its own set of pros and cons, but as I said these come in handy as a quick-fix solution when you suddenly run out of coffee filters.
Cheesecloth is a cotton cloth used in the making of cheese and it resembles a gauze used for separating liquids from solids. They come in different grades ranging from very fine to open ones. You may use a fine cheesecloth to brew when you have run out of coffee filters.
Use in the same method as mentioned for the paper towels. Fold or cut it into halves to fit your brewing equipment. The biggest advantage of using cheesecloth as a substitute is that the fabric is stronger than paper towels and it will not tear at the time of brewing.
On the downside, not many people have cheesecloth as easily available as paper towels. Even if you do, you will need to cut it and discard it after one use.
Cloth Napkin

Set a cloth napkin on the automatic drip or pour over the basket
If you have no paper towels at hand, you may use a dishtowel or a clean cloth napkin to brew your coffee. To use a cloth napkin as a filter, set it on the automatic drip or pour over the basket (you may use a rubber band to secure the cloth on the top while letting it slightly droop inside).
Now, put two tablespoons of freshly ground coffee inside the napkin and slowly pour hot water (again not boiling hot) into it. Carefully remove the cloth napkin from the mug to prevent the grounds from dropping into the mug and rinse the cloth.
The advantage of using this method is that almost everyone has a clean towel somewhere in the house and this is a reliable method. The cons include the probability of staining the cloth napkin, puddles on the sides of the mug, and your coffee tasting a lot like laundry detergent.
Mesh Sieve
Another way to save your mornings when you run out of coffee filters is using a mesh sieve. To use this option, put two tablespoons of coffee grounds in a measuring cup and pour not-very-hot water into the cup and stir it using a spoon. Let it sit for 5 minutes or more if you prefer a really strong coffee.
Now you can pour out the coffee into a mug using a fine mesh sieve.
The advantage of using this substitute is that it is extremely scalable and you may brew a whole pot of coffee using this method. You can also control how strong you want your coffee to be.
On the downside, a mesh sieve cannot hold the finest coffee grounds that drip into the mug and does not retain the oils that are usually absorbed by the filters. Your coffee may taste different using a mesh sieve, but this certainly better than no coffee!
Can You Use A Paper Towel As A Coffee Filter: The Final Word
Just because you ran out of coffee filters or you don't have access to one while traveling does not mean you have to give up the joy of treating yourself to a delicious cup of Joe. Using paper towels instead is a quick and reliable substitute that can save your mornings.
While coffee purists may disapprove of this method citing various reasons, I feel this is the most sustainable solution. After all, who doesn't have paper towels?
You may also try the other methods mentioned in this post to see what works best for you!

Metal puzzles are a fun and challenging way to test your brain. But after hours of working through the same puzzle with no results, you may feel a little stumped! If you're desperate for a solution, a puzzle guide might be your best bet! The P-shaped, horseshoe ring, and double-M puzzle are among the most common metal puzzles—once you've mastered these 3 puzzles, you'll be ready to work through any puzzle design on your own!
Part 1 of 3:
Working Through a P-Shaped Puzzle
 1. 1
 Grab one end of each P-shaped ring with both of your hands. Hold the puzzle as evenly as possible to prevent twisting the puzzle the wrong way while you work. Align the puzzle horizontally before you begin twisting it, with both ends of the P-shaped rings facing outwards.[1]
 - The two Ps should make something resembling a "W" shape before you begin twisting them.
 2. 2
 Turn your left P-shaped ring down. Then, loop the right ring around the upper "P" loop of the left ring. Your two P-shaped rings should look stacked on top of each other and mirroring each other at the loops.[2]
 - The rings should resemble a heart shape at this stage.
 3. 3
 Pull the right ring from the top and through the left loop. As you string the right ring through the left loop, it should slide off once you reach the bottom end. Once the two rings are separated, you have completed the puzzle.[3]
 - Set them down somewhere you won't forget to prevent losing them.
 4. 4
 Slide one ring through the "P" loop of the other ring to reset the puzzle. To prevent losing either ring and to put the puzzle together again, insert one ring through the top loop of the other ring. Pull the first ring all the way through the second ring, then turn the second ring up to secure both in place.
Part 2 of 3:
Beating a Horseshoe Ring Puzzle
 1. 1
 Hold the ring up evenly in front of you. Align the ring as evenly and as tightly as you can. Avoid holding one end of the right higher or lower than the other to prevent the ring from twisting or tangling as you work on it.[4]
 2. 2
 Twist one horseshoe in a counterclockwise direction. Keep the metal ring in-between the two rings. Continue twisting it until the ring is tight between the two rings and you cannot twist the horseshoe any further.[5]
 3. 3
 Bend and align the two horseshoes. Push the two horseshoes together into the middle of the chain until it bends in half. Line up the horseshoes as evenly as possible, allowing the ring to fall to the bottom of the horseshoes.[6]
 4. 4
 Slide the ring up and off of the horseshoe. Grab hold of the metal ring and lift it up through 1 side of the horseshoes. If the horseshoes are aligned, the ring should come off without forcing it. Check the horseshoe alignment if your ring appears stuck or you cannot locate an opening at the top of the horseshoes.[7]
 5. 5
 Re-align the horseshoes to put the puzzle back together. When you're ready to put the puzzle together again, twist and bend the chain in half to align the horseshoes back together. Drop the ring through one end of the horseshoes, then fold the horseshoes back up and twist 1 horseshoe in the opposite direction to secure the ring.
Part 3 of 3:
Solving a Double M Puzzle
 1. 1
 Lift one double M ring above the other ring. Both double M rings have a large curve around the top of the ring. Position your rings so that 1 ring is facing with their curve up and the other is facing downward in the opposite direction.[8]
 - Because the pieces are identical, they should look like a reflection of each other.
 2. 2
 Turn the rings at a 90-degree angle. Lift the bottom ring up through the top ring's side, then tilt them sideways at a 90-degree angle. The two ring curves should still be facing in opposite directions.[9]
 3. 3
 Slide the bottom piece up through the top piece's curve. Keep the rings even and at the 90-degree angle to prevent twisting or complicating your puzzle. When you have reached the top, make the bottom ring aligned with the middle of the top ring's curve.[10]
 4. 4
 Lower the bottom ring through the middle of the top ring's "M." Turn both rings upright again and slide the bottom ring down through the top ring's "M." If you have aligned the rings correctly, it should go through the middle without twisting or catching.[11]
 5. 5
 Insert one ring through the other ring's "M" to put the puzzle together again. To attach the two rings together again, raise one ring through the middle of the other ring's "M." Then, twist the rings at a 90-degree angle and slide it over the top curve and to the bottom of the ring. This will secure the rings together for storage.

 To solve a P-shaped metal puzzle, start by grabbing 1 end of each P-shaped ring with both of your hands. Hold the puzzle evenly, making sure it doesn't twist. Once you have the rings steady, turn your left ring down so your rings look stacked on top of each other and resemble a heart shape. Next, pull the right ring from the top through the left loop. Once the 2 rings are separated, you have completed the puzzle. If you want to reset it, slide 1 ring through the P loop of the other ring. To learn how to beat a horseshoe ring puzzle, keep reading!

With a severe drought hitting the southwestern United States, many towns are forced to rethink the way they use available water. Mineral Wells, Tex., was planning on keeping their public pools closed this summer in an effort to conserve water.
However, those plans changed after the city received $25,000 from an anonymous donor in order to drill a well and install fencing and electrical work that will keep both of its city pools operable.
According to city manager Lance Howerton, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality gave the city approval to use well water as long as the water meets specific quality standards, and Howerton assured the city council that the water will be up to those standards.
The city estimates that the project will cost approximately $21,000. The elements of the project include drilling the well, building a concrete slab and fencing, and creating electrical and plumbing connections to get the water from the well to the pools.
Howerton encouraged the council to approve the project on the condition that the city will first receive the $25,000 before any work begins, and the council gave the project a go-ahead with a 5-0 vote.
City officials were originally concerned about how the possible closures of the pools would affect the regular swimmers, swim teams, water aerobics users, and other pool-goers. But thanks to the donation, residents of Mineral Wells will have a place to swim this summer.

I am trying to do this by setting up the transparency of the layer, but the markers seem unaffected by this change.
Any ideas?
share|improve this question
Depending on what effect you are looking for. Possibly one workaround is to make other layers transparent and move your point layer down in the TOC. I have never seen anything like this other than a hollow symbol with no fill. – Brad Nesom Dec 30 '10 at 14:27

The best way to import symbols in a map document is to use EMF format. This will maintain the vectors, allow resizing in ArcMap without loss of quality. Since there is no "background" to a vector drawing, it will appear correctly transparent in ArcMap.
Alternately, you can make the bitmap marker method work by filling the "transparent" background portions of your symbol with a key colour that does not appear elsewhere in your image be aware that using bitmap markers may adversely affect output quality.

Is the EMF format the only image format in Layout that supports transparency still (Mid-2012)? – Roy Jun 1 '12 at 17:48
You are going to the marker layer's properties Display tab and changing the transparency, correct? As I'm guessing you know this is the main way to change the transparency of any layer, including marker symbols. If that doesn't work, I wonder if you don't have have some kind of read-only problem. May be worth trying to copy that layer and paste it in as a new layer and try to change the transparency on the new copied layer.

Explanation of Boat Excise Tax
Pursuant to Chapter 60B of the Massachusetts General Laws, every watercraft, including documented boats and ships, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water is subject to an excise tax unless expressly exempted. Excise is assessed for the "privilege of using the waterways."
The amount of excise due on a vessel in any registration year is calculated by multiplying the value of the vessel by the boats, ships and vessels excise rate. The rate is currently $10.00 per thousand dollars of value. The value of a vessel for the purpose of excise includes all equipment, including the mode of power and furnishings that are normally required aboard the vessel. The value is determined by the length and year of the vessel.
Excise tax will be assessed in the City or Town where the owner has the vessel habitually moored or docked for the summer season.
Excise for vessels are assessed on a fiscal year (July through June). If, during any fiscal year, the ownership of a vessel is transferred by sale or otherwise, the excise bill may be reduced by filing an abatement application (PDF).
The due date for boat excise tax is within 60 days of issue.


Class A Motorhomes: Is It Worth The Luxury?
Aug 27,2022
If you've ever wanted to join in the RV lifestyle, but were unsure what to look for in a Class A motorhome, then you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll explain what a Class A motorhome is, who makes the best of them, and how they differ from Class A B and C vehicles. You'll also learn which features make a Class A motorhome so popular, and why it's important to consider the size and storage space before you buy.
What is a Class A Motorhome?
What is a Class A motorhome? It's an RV that is similar to a bus but has a separate interior. Its chassis is specially designed for motorhomes. The chassis is shipped to an RV manufacturer as bare bones. It can be powered by either a gas or diesel engine. Diesel motorhomes are usually larger than gasoline motorhomes and are called "pushers."
The first thing to know about motorhomes is that there are several different classes, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. There are Class A RV, class B motorhomes, and class C motorhomes. There are many differences between the three classes, but they all have their advantages and disadvantages. If you're considering buying a motorhome for the first time, it's helpful to understand what they are and how they are constructed.
Class B motorhomes are smaller than Class A RVs. These units are built on van chassis and are generally 18 to 25 feet long. They offer the best fuel economy, ranging from eight to fifteen miles per gallon. They're available in both gas and diesel models. These vehicles are suited for traveling with one or two people. There are plenty of places to stay in Class B motorhomes, and they're also an affordable option.
Which Motor Home Class A Is Rated Best?
If you're planning to have luxury travel by RV, you're probably wondering which Motor Home Class A is top class. Thankfully, RV manufacturing has evolved quite a bit over the past few years. These days, you can purchase an RV that is rated high overall and that meets the needs of a wide range of buyers.
Motor Home Class A RV come in all different sizes and model year, each with their own attributes. They are classified based on price and power plant, and some models have amenities that other motorhomes don't have. You should keep in mind that RVs are not investments; they depreciate in value, just like cars. You must plan ahead to compensate for the "loss" you may incur if you sell them after a few years. Gas prices are more expensive than diesel.
The American Tradition RV is one of the most expensive and high-end Class A motorhomes, but it doesn't come cheap. It is well-regarded for its quality, durability, and thoughtful design. These campers are made on a custom Freightliner XCM chassis, with a Cummins diesel engine. The GVWR of these motorhomes is 41,000 to 47,000 pounds. The size is also average compared to other Class A motorhomes.

Who Makes The Highest Quality Class A Motorhomes?
While there are a variety of high-quality motorhomes available that a dealer can offer, Newmar's products are known for their durability and quality. They are built on premiere custom chassis and feature steel superstructures. The company's king-of-the-road model, the Newmar King Aire, is 45 feet long and is based on a Spartan K3 chassis. Other features include quartz countertops and European style cabinetry.
Newmar has four gas and three diesel Class A models. Though these models don't fit into the luxury category, they are well-made and have a variety of floor plans. Gas-powered motorhomes from Newmar start at $133,000 and go up to nearly four hundred thousand dollars. Holiday Rambler is another well-known brand of Class A motorhomes. The company was founded in 1953 and began manufacturing aluminum-framed RVs in 1961.
Newmar offers a wide range of features and price points. Its luxury models include tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and an RV washer and dryer. The interior is also spacious and comes with a king bed, an ample closet, and prepped for a stackable washer and dryer. If you're looking for a luxury Class A motorhome that has all the amenities, consider a Tiffin.
How Do Class A, B, And C Motorhomes Differ?
One major difference between Class A and Class B motorhomes is their length. A Class B motorhome can fit in a place a Class A cannot. And because it is shorter than a Class A, it can fit into most state and national parks. Additionally, some RVers find that their Class C RVs are easier to navigate in city areas. It also handles crowded parking better than a Class A RV.
In addition to size, class C motorhomes often have notable storage options. The Four Winds 31E features 108 cubic feet of storage. Similarly, many Class Cs feature under-bed storage. And while Class Cs tend to be smaller, they can rival Class A motorhomes in towing ability. Listed below are a few of the differences between Class A and Class B motorhomes.
A Class C motorhome is a compromise between the two. Truck chassis are typically used to build them. The over-cab sleeping area makes room for more living space in the living area. A Class C motorhome can accommodate four to eight people and tows a separate car. A Class C motorhome has mileage in between Class A and B motorhomes, making it a good choice for families with a larger vehicle.
What Are The Benefits Of A Class A Motorhome?
Class A motorhomes are the top of the line. There are different types of Class A motorhomes, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Class A motorhomes typically have better amenities and better workmanship, and some cost millions of dollars. However, the price difference does not always justify the higher price. If you're going to be camping frequently, or need to stay in the city, a Class A motorhome is a good choice.
Compared to a Class C motorhome, a Class A has a taller design. This makes it easier to maneuver in windy conditions, and its side walls are narrow. A Class A motorhome also has an incredibly large front windshield, which allows for easy access to the bathroom, master bedrooms, outdoor kitchen, and refrigerator without opening the slides. A Class A motorhome also has all the features that can make you more comfortable in sleeping, and its high ceilings provide a pleasant, quiet ride.
What Are The Different Types Of Class A Motorhomes?
Class A motorhomes are popular with retirees and people who like to spend time on the road. You can also find them ferrying large touring acts or pop stars. But how do you decide which type of Class A motorhome is right for you? Here are some important tips. These vehicles are built on a diesel or gas-powered truck or commercial bus chassis and feature the same amenities as traditional foundation-based homes.
Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, there are two basic types of Class A motorhomes: small camping trailers and large Class-A RVs. Smaller motorhomes tend to be cheaper and more convenient. Single travelers often favor the affordability and convenience of these RVs. Many people opt for a small-sized motorhome for an occasional trip. However, these motorhomes are less comfortable for large families and often lack features such as bunk beds and separate rear bedroom suites.
Class C motorhomes are built on a cabin chassis and are the compromise between Class A and Class B motorhomes. Usually, Class C motorhomes are built for four to eight people, but are often more affordable than Class A models. They also have the capability to tow a separate vehicle and can sleep between four and eight people. This type of motorhome also has mileage in between Class A and Class B motorhomes. The main difference between Class A and Class C motorhomes is their size. Ideally, a larger family will want to choose a Class


DSL workflow design
HI Team,
I'm looking for your suggestion on DSL workflow design. My challenge is how to pass data into a workflow. Considering there two cases,
 1. Manual activity which will wait for a user input.
 It's not ideal to poll from activity.
 2. aws sqs message listener activity which will listen on a queue, filter message if condition matched then continue to next activity.
 Creating a listener in every running workflow to poll message will not work. It makes more sense to have a centralized listener to filter and dispatch message to corresponding workflow instance. Then this activity will basically just wait for a message trigger and consume the message
Since DSL is dynamic and signal is only on workflow level not inside activity, it's difficult to define signal logic in workflow and send the signal. Can you please advise, thanks in advance.
Thanks
Gaoxin
Signal is the way to go in this case. No need to use an activity or queue. Just signal a workflow when user completes the action.
Since DSL is dynamic and signal is only on workflow level not inside activity, it's difficult to define signal logic in workflow and send the signal. Can you please advise, thanks in advance.
I don't understand your concern. You can always include some correlation id into the signal data and lookup a specific node in your DSL using it.
Thank you Maxim for your quick response. The DSL is generated flowchart by frontend drag & drop UI.Each activity is a draggable node in the UI. So currently manual step or others steps which need input data have to be activities for user to construct workflow and then send to temporal to execute. Also, as far as I understand, every workflow have different ID. I will need to filter all running workflow, find out the dsl and check if next activity needs signal and then send signal. Is there a better way to do this. Thank you very much.
Each activity is a draggable node in the UI. So currently manual step or other steps which need input data have to be activities for the user to construct workflow and then send to temporal to execute.
There is no need to map UI abstractions to Temporal abstractions directly. A single UI element can be implemented with any amount of code in Temporal. For example, a DSL step like "deploy my service to production" can be implemented with a pretty complex child workflow that talks to dozens of services.
I'm pretty sure that your users do not think in terms of Temporal activities. They think about business-level actions that should be performed.
So a manual step which is a single DSL workflow element can be mapped to an activity that initiates this step and a signal handling logic that completes the step. For implementation simplicity, you can always create higher-level coding abstractions (like OO classes) to encapsulate complex behaviors.

Why currently UI element is mapped to activities is when user execute a workflow, they can see state, input/output of each element. It's straightforward to call GetWorkflowHistory to get activity detailed information and display real time data on UI.
And in our user cases, we provide fundamental functionalities as activities mapped to UI element node, different team can drag & drop element to create their own workflow based on their business requirement.
But you are right, there is no need to map UI abstractions to Temporal abstractions directly.Backend can handle the logic for two way bindings, how to execute and feed data back to the frontend.
Will serverless workflow DSL be supported by temporalio in future (not just the dsl sample). This will allow to write the DSL in yaml/json.
Long-term plan is to make it easier to support any type of DSL on top of Temporal. As far as serverless workflow DSL, definitely planning to provide support for the entire DSL in the future. There is already some ongoing work in the serverless workflow community to provide full DSL support for Temporal. Idea is to then contribute it to the Temporal community, so stay tuned.
@tihomir W.r.t DSL support, you mean that the interpretor logic required for serverless workflow execution to run with Temporal will be part of future support?
Yes, current plan is to provide support for serverless workflow dsl exec on Temporal (Java SDK). There is a number of contributors currently, and work is ongoing. Plan is to provide an open-source library people can use to for that integration.
Hi, is there some progress? Is here a plan to support GO SDK too?
Thank you.
Some progress for Java SDK integration which will be made public hopefully very soon (same timeframe alongside next spec release, will update here). I don't know about integration with Temporal Go SDK currently. Would help to understand the amount of interest for it first.
Hi @tihomir,
Continuing with this thread.
I'm looking at serverless workflow with Go. I'm creating a prototype but am running into an issue. If the activity that workflow is executing is defined in Serverless, we do not know what the return type of the activity is in our workflow code.
e.g.
//Get the function from serverless workflow model
 function := wfdef.GetFunction(action.FunctionRef.RefName)
 ao := workflow.ActivityOptions{
 StartToCloseTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
 TaskQueue: "test",
 }
 ctx = workflow.WithActivityOptions(ctx, ao)
 //get activity name
 activityName := function.Operation
 var result any
 //execute activity
 err := workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, activityName, stateInputData.Data).Get(ctx, &result)
If I run the above code - I get an error:
payload item 0: value type: interface {}: must be a concrete type, not interface
I understand why I get this message in Go as it's expecting a type, but if my workflow is based on serverless, we don't know in advance what the type is. How do you approach this from a serverless perspective?
Thanks,
Jay.
we do not know what the return type of the activity is in our workflow code
When using most DSLs you are bound to JSON data, as you define the manipulation of this data inside your DSL via expression languages rather than code.
Servless Workflow specification says that workflow data is a valid JSON object and that is defined to be the result of both your activities / child workflows as they are added to the JSON workflow data (based on filter rules if defined).
You can definitely define a struct that would hold your workflow data like what we did in the Java dsl sample here.
You could also define default activity result type for all your activities that just holds the JSON result that you would then merge with your workflow data.
Hope this helps.
Hi @tihomir , any update on support for serverless workflow integration with temporal(Java SDK)?
No specific update other than looking for community help on this. If you are interested please let me know so can start sharing what we have so far.
Yes, would be happy to help !!
Even I also want to help here.
Hi @tihomir , any update or timeline we shall look forward to? Please let me know if there is help needed.

This paper studied the equivalent mechanics model of sloshing motion of water inside the moonpool of a deep sea Spar platform, and the model parameters were calculated. The dynamic equations of water inside the moonpool were derived based on the potential flow theory. The equivalent pendulum models of the sloshing motions of water inside the moonpool were established. ANSYS software was used to set up model and mesh, and the Matlab software was used to carry out the numerical calculation. The Galerkin method was used to solve the natural frequencies, modal functions and discrete solutions of the potential function of the sloshing motions, and the model parameters of the equivalent pendulum were calculated. The validity of the calculating method was verified by comparing the numerical simulation results with the analytical results. The parameter library of the equivalent mechanics model was established considering the different water heights of the moonpool. This lays the foundation for studying the coupling motions between the platform and water inside the moonpool.

Get some inspiration from the Germany itineraries tab and start planning your next sailing itinerary, read detailed descriptions of Germany sailing destinations, or read our Germany sailing article.
Find sailing routes in Germany or choose another yacht charter in Atlantic Europe.
Germany is a huge country so it has considerable climate variety. The Northwestern and coastal areas have a maritime influenced climate. In these regions, the summer is warm and the winter mild and cloudy. Being exposed to both mild air masses from the Atlantic Ocean and cold air masses from Russia or the North Pole, Germany's climate can experience remarkable changes.
Being exposed to both mild air masses from the Atlantic Ocean and cold air masses from Russia or the North Pole, Germany's climate can experience remarkable changes. The northern area is slightly milder, but also rainier and windier, because of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. On the Baltic coast, the climate is similar to that of the North Sea coast. The wind blows less frequently and less intensely. The western region along with the Rhine River corridor is exposed to air masses of Atlantic origin because of the proximity to France.
The German summer brings pleasant temperatures, with highs ranging on average about 21 °C in the northern coast, to 25 °C in the rest of the country. In autumn the weather becomes progressively colder and rainy. In spring, temperatures rise slowly. Winters in Germany are generally mild temperatures of about 1 °C or even higher, but can sometimes be harsh with heavy snowfall and temperatures below zero.

F16 WarmUp Sound – SFX Demonstration
F16 WarmUp Sound from F-16 Falcon SFX
Demonstration of the F16 WarmUp, changing RPM from Idle to Afterburner using the F-16 Falcon SFX sound library.
The library includes 33 audio files and the detailed PDF-instruction for developers on how to use it. Total duration: 15 min.
The F110-GE-100 provides around 4,000 lbf more thrust than the F100-PW-200 and requires more air, which led to the increase in the area of the engine intake. The F-16C/D Block 30/32s were the first to be built with a common engine bay, able to accept both engines, with block 30s having the bigger intake and block 32s retaining the standard intake.
Initial orders were for the F110-GE-100 rated at 28,000 lbf (125 kN). Later versions of the F110 include the F110-GE-129 delivering 29,400 lbf (131 kN) thrust and the F110-GE-132 delivering 32,000 lbf.
Some Interesting Facts About The F-16 Fighting Falcon:
- The F-15 was in production, but the Air Force knew it was too expensive to fill all their roles. The smaller, less expensive F-16 was the answer.
- The F-16 was the first fighter jet to use a side-mounted control stick.

Can You Put Rubber Tires on Power Wheels?
Jimmy Boyera // Last Updated on March 19, 2023
Yes, you can put rubber tires on your power wheels. Rubber tires are better than plastic tires as they offer better traction and last longer.
You probably have been thinking about replacing your power wheel's tires because either they have worn out or they are not performing well. It's better to replace them with rubber tires. Why? Let's find out!
Can you buy rubber tires for power wheels?
Yes, you can put rubber tires for power wheels. There are various rubber tires available for power wheels. You need to find the perfect size and buy a set of tires.
Can you put rubber tires on power wheels?
Can You Put Rubber Tires On the Power Wheels
Yes, replacing plastic tires with rubber tires in a power wheel is a great idea. You can buy a set of rubber tires and put them on your power wheels for better performance.
Some of the problems you may face with regular plastic tires in your power wheels are:
 - Slippery: Plastic tires are slippery and don't have much traction. It makes them riskier to drive.
 - Less durable: Plastic tires are more susceptible to breaking. That's why they are less durable than rubber tires.
 - Noisy: Plastic tires are made of stiff materials, which makes them noisy.
 - Not enough grip: Plastic tires don't have a good grip. It makes it harder to move with ease off-road or on snow.
These are some common problems you may face with plastic tires. But your rubber tires usually do not have such issues. Hence, you can always put rubber tires on your power wheels.
The best thing about replacing the tire is that you do not need any special skills. Replace the plastic tires with rubber tires in the same way you would have set plastic tires.
Do they make rubber tires for power wheels?
Yes, many tire brands make rubber tires for power wheels. However, they are not widely available as only a few models are specifically made for power wheels.
However, there are a lot of tires available in the market for off-road vehicles. You can buy any of them if they match the size of your power wheels. They are always suitable to use with toy vehicles.
Why don't power wheels have rubber tires?
Why don't Power Wheels have Rubber Tires
Power wheels do not have built-in rubber tires due to cutting costs. Rubber tires are usually costlier than rubber tires.
That's why companies use plastic tires for power wheels. It keeps the price of the vehicle low, which helps them attract more customers.
Rubber Tires On Power Wheels: Benefits
Rubber tires have a lot of benefits over plastic tires. Some of them are:
 - Excellent traction: Rubber tires have excellent traction. It helps the driver to move the power wheels with more ease and control.
 - Less noise: The rubber material causes less noise while driving, which makes the playing experience better.
 - Enough grip: Rubber tires have enough grip to run smoothly on any terrain. Kids mostly go off-road, on grassy tracks or muddy tracks with power wheels. The rubber tire helps to avoid slipping on such trails due to having a good grip.
 - Long lasting: Rubber tires do not break easily like plastic tires. That is why they can offer long-lasting performance.
Conclusion
You can always upgrade built-in plastic tires with good quality rubber tires in your power wheels. I hope all of your confusion is clear, and now you know that rubber tires are better for your kid's off-road toy vehicle.

Why do people give to the United Way?
 - Some like the oversight United Way provides over partner agencies...making sure the finances are being handled properly.
 - Others like that someone else is checking to be sure the community's most critical problems are being targeted, not just band-aid solutions.
 - Still others appreciate the convenience of payroll deduction.
 - Some like that their donation can be directed to nearly any charity, anywhere they wish.
 - Everyone appreciates that they are helping those in need.
Why do employers like the United Way?
 - The United Way makes it easy for employers to help employees give back to their community. Many employers consider partnering with United Way as good corporate citizenship.
 - Since the United Way will direct employee donations to nearly any charitable organization, employers may choose to limit outside fundraising efforts.
 - Even the simplest payroll software accomodates payroll deduction. The employer simply sends one check to United Way on a monthly or quarterly basis. The United way does the work of keeping track of where the employee donations are directed.
Why do charities like the United Way?
 - Charities understand that United Way's trusted partnership with employers and their ability to utilize payroll deduction, is a powerful team that often results in larger donations directed to the charity.
 - Charities often suggest to their employees, their board members, and their supporters to take advantage of Donor Directed contributions and payroll deductions so that part, or all, of their donation benefits their organization.
 - Being a partner agency with United Way signals to the charity's donor that both the charity and the finances have been carefully reviewed by a third party.

Gerbils And Exercise Wheels
How do you get gerbils to use an exercise wheel?
By Donna Anastasi
Posted: May 17, 2010, 2:40 p.m. EDT
Q: I have three gerbils living together in a 20-gallon long tank setup. None of them ever run on the wheel that I have in their cage. They mostly use it to burrow under. Is there a way to teach them to use a wheel, if it would be beneficial to their health?
A: The best type of wheel for gerbils is an 8-inch diameter, wire mesh (not slatted or plastic) wheel. A gerbil's tail could get caught in an old-style slatted wheel, and gerbils will chew a plastic wheel to bits. Some gerbils like a wheel and others don't.
The best way to get gerbils to run on a wheel is to offer a wheel when they are young, at about 5 weeks old. Wire it to the mesh lid of their tank so it hangs a few inches above the litter. Gerbils like the challenge of jumping and climbing on a wheel, and once inside may run on it. Try wiring the wheel so it holds still until they get used to sitting in it, then unwire it so it moves and they can run in it.
A final tip is that gerbils learn from watching gerbils in other tanks. If you ever go away and have someone with wheel-aholic gerbils babysit yours, you might come back to see your gerbils happily running in their wheel!
If your gerbils never take to the wheel, give them other things for exercise. Some examples are: a metal climbing structure or a branch from the reptile section of the pet store, deep litter to dig and burrow in, a dust bath to roll in, timothy hay, unscented toilet tissue, a PVC pipe as a tunnel, and plenty of cardboard boxes and tubes to gnaw up.

The village was named after H. B. Howard, a hotelier and postmaster. Howards Grove began as two unincorporated communities: Millersville and Howards Grove. They united as one village in 1967. In the year 1846, the first immigrants started to make an appearance and settled in the surrounding wilderness which was named the town of Herman. Sheboygan, which was ten miles from where they had settled, was their main source of supplies. The main occupation of this area since the 1840s has been farming. The farming community had always had a focus on growing oats and wheat but as early as November 29, 1899, the Sheboygan Telegram noted that there had been a change in operation. The focus was changed to dairy farming. Today, farming still rules the community.
Howards Grove is located at(43.829594, -87.823251).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.34 square miles (6.06 km2), of which, 2.31 square miles (5.98 km2) of it is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water.
As of 2000 the median income for a household in the village was $59,032, and the median income for a family was $65,243. Males had a median income of $42,444 versus $26,719 for females. The per capita income for the village was $21,913. About 2.1% of families and 2.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 2.2% of those under age 18 and 12.3% of those age 65 or over.
As of the census of 2010, there were 3,188 people, 1,245 households, and 942 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,380.1 inhabitants per square mile (532.9/km2). There were 1,276 housing units at an average density of 552.4 per square mile (213.3/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 98.3% White, 0.4% African American, 0.1% Native American, 0.6% Asian, 0.2% from other races, and 0.5% from two or more races.

We current a complete set of experiments evaluating fastened masking, the place the identical consideration masks is utilized at each body, with chunked masking, the place the eye masks for every body is decided by chunk boundaries, by way of recognition accuracy and latency. We then discover the usage of variable masking, the place the eye masks are sampled from a goal distribution at coaching time, to construct fashions that may work in several configurations. Lastly, we examine how a single configurable mannequin can be utilized to carry out each first cross streaming recognition and second cross acoustic rescoring. Experiments present that chunked masking achieves a greater accuracy vs latency trade-off in comparison with fastened masking, each with and with out FastEmit. We additionally present that variable masking improves the accuracy by as much as 8% relative within the acoustic re-scoring situation.

Doctoral Advisor-Advisee Pairing in STEM Fields: Selection Criteria and Impact of Faculty, Student and Departmental Factors
International Journal of Doctoral Studies • Volume 10 • 2015 • pp. 343-363
Unlike the doctoral programs in places where students are paired with advisors at the time of admission itself, most US programs require the students to choose their advisors, and the advisors to formally accept the students as advisees. Little research has been done to understand how students and faculty approach this mutual selection and pairing process. This paper examines this process in STEM departments (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), with specific focus on factors influencing the decisions. Based on focus groups and interviews of doctoral students and faculty from STEM departments in an American university, we identify criteria applied by students and faculty in making their choices. Students were found to assess faculty on available funding, area of research, personality, ability to graduate students fast, and career prospects for students, and faculty to assess students on their qualifications/credentials and perceived ability to contribute to research. We also found that this mutual assessment was not objective, but influenced by perceptions associated with faculty gender and career stage, and student nationality. In the end, whether students and faculty were actually paired with persons of their choice depended on departmental factors including prevalent pairing practices, restrictions on student numbers per faculty, and reward structure. We discuss implications of the findings for research and practice.

Guest Blog - Electricity used when pulling weight
We don't typically post items related to science fairs (I get a lot of them - they're always enjoyable but most aren't related to NXT but just use an NXT robot to facilitate something else), but I thought this was an interesting project worth sharing, especially because it's using an NXT to obtain the results - I've posted Keizo's results in the accompanying image.
BTW - Keizo is in 4th grade.
Thanks for sending this in Keizo! - Jim
How Much Electricity Is Used When A Robot Pulls A Certain Weight
By Keizo M.
Hypothesis: I think that the robot will use twice as much electricity when the weight of the car is doubled.
Why I Chose This Project: Last year I got a LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 for my birthday. I really enjoyed it, but while using it, I noticed that the batteries run out quickly. I decided to measure how much electricity would be used when a robot pulls a weight.
Materials: -Lego Mindstorms ® NXT 2.0 -Digital Voltmeter -6 Rechargeable Batteries -Weights
1) Make a robotic car out of Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0
2) Program the car to go forward and backward for 10 minutes
3) Charge the batteries
4) Measure volts in batteries
5) Put batteries in the car
6) Put weight on the car
7) Run the program
8) After 10 minutes stop the car
9) Take out batteries, and collect data
10) Repeat step 3 through 7 with different weights
Conclusion: When weight was increased, more electricity was used but it didn't double. For example, when I doubled the weight from 1 pound to 2 pounds there was only a 0.066-volt difference.
Discussion: There wasn't a huge difference when I increased the weight. Next time, I should make the robot go for 30 minutes instead of 10 minutes or put a heavier weight

Krishna And Radha Love?
Did Radha and Krishna make love?
He was the Parama Purusha with only pure love in his heart.
This is a matter of great sorrow that some people think that Lord krishna and Radha were involved in love affairs.
krishna never entercoursed Radha.
They did not get sexual enjoyment.
Why did Krishna and Radha not marry?
Since there is the only element, they did not marry each other. According to some versions of the story, it is noted that Radha refused to marry Lord Krishna because she felt that she wouldn't be able to adjust in his household because of the fact that she was a cowgirl and people expected Kanha to marry a Princess.
Who is the husband of Radha?
What is the end of Radha Krishna love story?
Radha and Krishna love story is an exemplary for teens where he says marriage is materialistic. Furthermore, Radha was in love with Krishna so much that she believed Krishna was God and she used to love him as a devotee. She was lost in 'bhakti love' which people started mistaking as a physical love.
How did Radha died?
Radha abandoned her body while listening to the tunes of the flute. Lord Krishna could not bear Radha's death and broke his flute as a symbolic ending of love and threw it into the bush. Since then, Sri Krishna has not played the flute or any other instrument of life.
Did Radha and Rukmini meet?
No, they never met. Rukmini and other seven wives of Lord Krishna knew that, apart from them, there are two more females, who are very dear to their husband. All wives of Shri Krishna met Draupadi during rajyabhishek of King Yudhishtir. But they never met Radha.
Who married to Radha?
Radha gets married to Ayarn leaving Krishna shocked in RadhaKrishn.
At what age did Krishna left Radha?
BUT in answer to your question I think you meant the time he left vrindavan. That was when he was eleven years old. But some works say he left at 7. P.S Sorry for giving such a long answer but their love story is divine and we shouldn't really cloud it by telling that krishna left radha.
Why did Krishna marry 16000 wives?
Their number is mentioned as 16,000 or 16,108 in different scriptures. Krishna accepted them as his wives upon their insistence to save themselves from the society who saw them as slaves of the demon king Narakasura. The chief amongst them is sometimes called Rohini.
At what age Krishna died?
125 years and 7 months
Who is the real wife of Krishna?
Is Radha Rukmini same?
As Anupama Kurup mentions, some qualities are similar-but that is precisely because they come from the same source (but are not the same as Radha). Specifically, Rukmini devi is considered an incarnation of the gopi-Candravali and/or Lakshmidevi. Radha's name is mentioned in Bhagavatam many times, but indirectly.

As Somalia is very close to the equator, its climate does not see any major change throughout the year. The conditions are perennially hot with the monsoon winds and irregular rainfall providing breaks from the heat. The average temperature in Somalia ranges between 30 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. Northern Somalia witnesses the highest fluctuations in temperature where average temperatures in July reach 45 degrees Celsius and reach below the freezing point in December.
The coastline of Somalia is the longest in the continent of Africa. The Somalian terrain mostly consists of plateaus, highlands and plains.

City-Farm Wage Gaps in Late Nineteenth-Century France
Pierre Sicsica1
a1 Centre de Recherche of the Banque de France, 39 rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs, 75001 Paris, France.
Wage gaps between farm and city are used to assess whether industrialization in late nineteenth-century France was choked off by peasants' alleged reluctance to move. If industry suffered due to labor scarcity, wage gaps should have been large and rising. It turns out that the wage gap, when adjusted for costs of living and computed as an average of 20 regional wage gaps, was nil in 1852 and about 25 percent in 1892. Thus wage gaps were rising but were far smaller throughout the late nineteenth century than they were in England during similar stages of industrialization.

While it may not seem significant at first, sexing your pet crested gecko is actually important from the point of view of not just breeding but also potential cohabitation and dietary requirements.
Plus, isn't it actually interesting to know what sex your pet crested gecko is?
Here, we look at how to sex your crested gecko and why.
Why Sex Your Crested Gecko?
Sexing your crested gecko will play an important role in your plan ahead as a pet owner in terms of breeding, cohabitation, and diet of your pet crested gecko.
While most other fundamental needs of crested geckos are pretty much the same regardless of their sex, things like whether or not you should let your crested geckos cohabitate will depend heavily on their sex.
Reason 1 – Breeding
If you want to venture into the arena of breeding your crested geckos, the first and foremost thing you will need to know is the sex of your crested geckos.
You will, by default, need one of your crested geckos to be a female, while the other, be a male. And the only way of knowing which one is which, will be by knowing how to sex your crested geckos.
Reason 2 – Cohabitation
Some pet owners of reptiles, especially species like the crested gecko, are interested in letting their pets cohabitate. If you happen to be one of those, then it is pertinent for you to know the sex of your crested geckos.
You can never house two male crested geckos in the same enclosure. It will always lead to fights over territory and resources. Both of your crested geckos will end up harming and injuring each other.
On the other hand, you can easily house two or more female crested geckos in a single enclosure, provided that the enclosure is big enough for all the crested geckos to have their own spots for warming up, cooling down, eating, drinking water, etc.
You can house a male and a female crested gecko, but you will need to monitor them consistently and regularly.
It is obvious that in such a pairing, mating will become a regular activity. But you will need to ensure that the male crested gecko does not bully the female crested gecko or show physical aggression towards her.
So, cohabitation needs a lot of planning and monitoring. And the first step in it is to know the sex of your crested geckos.
Reason 3 – Diet Planning
Your female crested gecko will need a diet that is denser in nutrients, especially calcium. Female crested geckos lay eggs with or without mating.
It is a part of their normal bodily cycles. The eggs laid without mating are naturally infertile. Nevertheless, it takes a toll on the calcium reserves in the body of the female crested gecko.
This makes female crested geckos more prone to developing fatal illnesses like metabolic bone disorder.
Knowing the sex of your crested gecko will therefore allow you to make more informed choices about the diet of your pet.
4 Ways of Sexing Adult Crested Geckos
The first and foremost thing you need to do before sexing your crested gecko is to wait until the right age.
While you can differentiate between the two sexes of crested geckos as early as 4 months of age, you should hold off the sexing process until your crested gecko is at least 6 to 9 months old.
This is because regardless of the method you use to sex your crested gecko, it will require you to handle your pet.
And it is highly recommended that you do not handle your pet until it is at least 6 months of age – younger crested geckos tend to be more skittish and physically weaker. So, when held, they may suddenly jump off your hand and injure themselves by landing improperly on a hard surface.
That being out of the way, there are 4 ways of sexing adult crested geckos:
Identifying the hemipenal bulges.
This is the easiest way of sexing your crested gecko – and it requires the least handling.
All you have to do is either hold your crested gecko a little above your head or place it in a clear and transparent bowl or container. Then, with a torch, visually inspect the region near its vent and at the base of its tail.
If your crested gecko has bulges in that region, then it is a male crested gecko. Those bulges are the bubble-shaped cloaca in which the male crested geckos keep their two hemipenes stored until it is time to mate.
If there is no hemipenal or bubble-shaped bulge near the vent, your crested gecko is very likely a female.
Identifying the pre-anal pores.
This is another way of identifying the sex of your crested gecko. In a fashion similar to the one mentioned above, you will need to either hold your crested gecko high up or place it in a clean and transparent bowl or container.
Carefully observe the region just above your crested gecko's vent, between its legs. If you notice a small, horizontal line of pores that are barely visible, your crested gecko is a male.
These pores will allow your crested gecko to secrete pheromones to attract female crested geckos when it is time to mate.
If, on the other hand, there is no such line of pores visible, your crested gecko is a female.
Size of the body and the head.
This is more of a confirmatory process than an actual standalone way of sexing your crested gecko. If, by using the two aforementioned ways, you have clarity about the sex of your crested gecko, then inspecting the general size of the body and head of your pet will allow you to confirm your findings.
As is the case with most animals, the male crested gecko will be larger and broader in size when compared to a female crested gecko.
Talk to a vet with expertise in crested geckos.
When all else fails and you are still unsure or unsatisfied with your findings, you should turn to a professional with experience. Talk to the vet of your crested gecko and they will be able to find out the sex of your pet for you.
They won't exactly use any different methods – they will just have a keener eye and all the necessary tools required for hassle-free sexing of your crested gecko.
Is Crested Gecko Gender Temperature-Dependent?
No, the gender of a crested gecko is not temperature-dependent.
A common misconception that floats around a lot is that if you incubate the eggs of a crested gecko at a higher temperature, you will get more males as opposed to females at lower temperatures.
That is untrue. The temperature of the incubator is important for the health of your crested gecko eggs – but they do not determine the gender of the hatchlings.
So, never increase or decrease the temperature of your crested gecko's incubator beyond the thresholds. The ideal temperature for the incubator is between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can a Crested Gecko Change Its Gender?
No, a crested gecko cannot change its gender. The gender of a crested gecko, much like the gender of most animals, is determined at birth and remains the same for the rest of its life.
What can cause confusion, however, is sexing a crested gecko when it is still very young. Some breeders and sellers may make false claims about selling male or female crested gecko hatchlings or babies.
You should not fall for those claims because the sex of a crested gecko can only be confirmed after your crested gecko reaches an age of 9 or 10 months.
So, if you bought a female baby crested gecko, but are now realizing that your crested gecko is actually a male – your pet hasn't changed its gender. It was never a female crested gecko, to begin with.
How Old Does My Crested Gecko Need To Be?
In order for you to sex your crested gecko accurately, your pet needs to be at least 9 to 10 months old.
What Size Can You Sex A Crested Gecko?
You can sex a crested gecko when it is roughly 6 to 9 inches in size and weighs somewhere between 16 and 35 grams.
Sexing your crested gecko has numerous benefits in terms of cohabitation, breeding, and diet planning. Knowing how and when to sex your crested gecko will help you know the gender of your pet accurately.
Do not fall for false claims of the sex of crested geckos by breeders or sellers who claim to sell baby female or baby male crested geckos.
The sex of a crested gecko can only be accurately identified when it is around 9 months of age, 6 to 9 inches in size, and somewhere between 16 to 35 grams in weight.

Definition and meaning of the idiom "foot the bill"
What does the idiom "foot the bill" mean? How can I use the idiom "foot the bill in a full sentence?"
You may even encounter a native speaker using the idiom "to foot the bill." This saying, counter-intuitively, has nothing to do with feet. By saying this, the speaker is stating that they will pay the bill.
For example, "William often dines with us, but he never foots the bill" which simply means, he never pays.
Moreover, the person who foots the bill only means he/ she pays the entire bill. The idiom is most often used with dining but can be applied to anything.
Examples of the idiom foot the bill
- Riley footed the bill as he had gotten a raise.
- Fran always has an excuse when it comes time to foot the bill.
- His father footed the bill for his college education.
- The company foots the bill for all business lunches.
- Ryo hates taking favors, hence always foots the bill when he goes for lunch with his friends.
Q1: Try and make your own sentence using the idiom "foot the bill".
Q2: Who foots the bill usually among your friends?
Q3: Should the man of the woman foot the bill on a date? Why?

iVolunteer is our school based volunteering project.
vInspired is a nationally recognised organisation.
vInspired for schools – accreditation for all students who are volunteers.
What is it?
Each student has an online account where they log hours spent volunteering towards a vInspired award.
How does it work?
vInspired schools provides an opportunity for all young people who devote any of their own time volunteering for schools and other appropriate community activities to be recognised, whether this is attending a Student Voice meeting, helping to plan an assembly or organising a charity event.
Young people add hours to their online personal volunteering account. They include a referee (the name and contact details of an adult who is in charge of the activity e.g. the name of a teacher and their email address); this referee is used centrally to verify that volunteering has taken place. Volunteering hours build towards vInspired awards. These are v10, v50 and v100 certificates. The numbers are representative of the hours spent volunteering.
Does it extend to volunteering beyond New Mills School?
Yes! Students can log any volunteering that they do. For example, they may be involved with Scouts/ Guides or church organisations, to name a few. If students have a reference to verify the time that they have spent volunteering this can count towards their vInspired award. Older students can add time that they have spent volunteering to help to prepare them for future careers e.g. time spent in hospices, care homes etc. Students who are not currently involved with volunteering outside of NMS can also search for available opportunities through their membership of the scheme e.g. become an online mentor for primary school children.
What about after NMS?
vInspired schools is part of a wider charity called vInspired. This enables young people up to the age of 25 to continue to log their volunteering hours meaning that students can continue to build up a resume of what they have done. vInspired awards are recognised by UCAS and major employers as a way for students to formally quantify the volunteering that they have done.
If you are involved in any of the following activities within school you are eligible to register for vInspired.
 - Anti Bullying Ambassadors
 - Sports Leaders
 - Senior Students
 - Student Council Representatives
Register today or speak to Mrs Davies for more information.
Why Volunteer?
There are loads of benefits to doing something for a good cause. You learn new skills, meet new people, and help your career - all at the same time as doing some good in the world.
Into music? You could volunteer at a music festival and get a free ticket in return. Love sport? There's loads of local sports clubs looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help out. What about travelling? Try a different part of the world to expand your horizons. Or maybe you prefer to stay at home? No problem. You can sign up online and make a difference without moving off your sofa.
Wherever you want to go in life, volunteering can help you get there.
Volunteering hours will impress future employers!
73% of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteering experience over one without. 94% of volunteers got their first job or a promotion thanks to the experience.
Volunteering demonstrates transferable skills, which you'll need to get a job or impress at your university interview. By donating your time to others and showing off your vInspired Awards you become a skilled sort of someone that every employer wants on their team.

The total population of Jiuzhai Valley National Park is just over 1,000, comprising of over 110 families. The nine Tibetan Villages of Jiuzhai Valley are He Ye, Jian Pan, Ya Na, Pan Ya, Guo Du, Ze Cha Wa, Hei Jiao, Shu Zheng and Re Xi. Although not officially discovered by the government until 1972, the earliest human activities have been recorded as dating back as early as to the Yin-Shang Period (16th - 11th Century B. C.)
The main villages that are readily accessible to tourists are He Ye, Shu Zheng and Ze Cha Wa along the main routes that cater to tourists, selling various handi-crafts, souvenirs and snacks. There is also Re Xi in the smaller Zha Ru Valley and behind He Ye village are Jian Pan, Pan Ya and Ya Na villages. The Valley's no longer populated villages are Guo Du and Hei Jiao.

Route did not calculate due to an error message
Route calculation failed: Download missing map error
 - This error usually occurs when you are creating a route from one country to another, and the app is missing crucial maps of countries that need to be passed through along the way (for example, if you create a route from Spain to Germany, but are missing the map of France, or from California to Washington without the maps of Oregon or Idaho).
 - To avoid this error, simply make sure that all maps necessary for the route are downloaded. Maps can be added via Menu → Maps, or by tapping on the download prompt which is displayed directly on the map over countries/states not yet downloaded.
 Please note that at the moment, it is not possible to create routes between certain countries if they are from 2 different map providers (this affects mostly the maps that were recently added in the app, most countries across the World are not affected). We are currently looking into a technical solution that should make it possible in the near future. Until then, the only way to navigate to or from affected countries is to create routes to and from the borders.
Route Calculation Has Failed, Roads Limit Reached error
This particular error message appears when the app's routing algorithm reaches it's limit. To further improve it, we would like to ask you to submit any route that you tried to set up in the app in a ticket form from this article. Usually, there are a few reasons why this error appears:
 - The route is too long due to a specific setting. The route would be normally calculated, but because of a specific routing setting, for example highway avoidance, the route possibilities would be exceeded before the route would finish calculating. Please check your settings in Menu → Settings → Route planning tab.
 - The starting point or destination is set in a no-drive zone. In this case, the application would try to calculate the route which cannot be completed and will go on with the calculation until the route processing limit is reached. Try adjusting the destination or starting points slightly.

Our question this week was: Why do some puppies have their tails cut off
Tail docking is the surgical removal of part of the tail. This procedure is most often performed in healthy puppies
between 2 to 5 days of age.
A similar procedure may be performed in older pets, but this is considered a tail amputation, not a tail dock.
Tail docking is most often performed in puppies to prevent tail damage in certain breeds, for hygiene reasons and to comply with specific breed standards.
Here is an article that gives more information on how it is done: Tail docking
. Our question this week came from Lyndl U., from Seattle, Washington.
